"Even with the best cloud ship, it will take a month and a half to go back and forth from Donglin. But His Highness once said that if he doesn't see his third brother in Qiantian after a month, he will cut off Xu'er's left arm -"
"This demon king is cruel and ruthless, and he only keeps his word!"
"But are we really going to let the third brother go to hell? Once there is no threat to Kong Yao, the consequences for our Kong family will be unpredictable!"
"This Kong Yao is really the bane of my Kong family! When Xu'er was captured, it must be this woman who was the culprit!"
"Hey, doesn't the demon king value Kong Yao very much? Since he wants the third uncle to come over, then he might as well make a fuss about it. If it is my wish, the demon king chops off the elder brother's hand, we can also give him one as a gift. Go over with just one arm. Let’s see if he lets them go?”
"Nonsense! Kong Xu was defeated and captured because of his plot to conquer the Tianshan Mountains. The Kong family is already worried about this matter and cannot escape. What if it is the demon king who sends an envoy to question our court? Don't blame me. We are too high-minded. In the eyes of His Majesty, we are just tools and pawns. How can you offend a big country whose strength is comparable to that of the Holy Land for us?"
"Damn it! When the disaster star was born, she shouldn't have been spared—"
Several people in the study room were discussing. However, his gaze was directed towards the superior with a hint of inquiry.
This is an old man, about sixty years old, with deep lines like knife carvings all over his face. His face was wrinkled, looking extremely sad.
At this time, the turbid eyes were full of sadness.
This is Kong Li, the head of the Kong family. Everyone knows that this old man still needs to make a decision on today's matter and whether he should be released.
If others fall into the hands of that demon king, that's all. But Kong Xu was, after all, his most beloved eldest son. The future head of the Kong family—
He pondered for a long time but said nothing. He just listened quietly to everyone's discussion. Until the sounds in the study gradually stopped. The old man suddenly sighed and looked out the window.
"Since Third Brother is here, why not come in?"
"Um!"
Outside the study room, a middle-aged man's voice sounded. Then the door was pushed open, and a man in Confucian robes with a temperament as gentle as jade walked slowly into the room.
With an indifferent expression, he glanced at everyone in the room.
"Just now, I heard that someone wanted to cut off one of my arms and send it to Qiantian Mountain. They also said that my Yao'er was a disaster star. Shouldn't he have kept it when he was born?"
The few people sitting upright did not speak when they heard this, but they were all secretly frightened. They had known for a long time that this person's strength was unpredictable, and it was this person who personally trained Kong Yao. It's so strong that it ignores the spiritual formation here. It's still shocking.
"Third brother's cultivation seems to have improved again!"
But Kong Li smiled indifferently: "You brothers and nephews are anxious about Xu'er's matter, so you are a bit unscrupulous in your words. Please don't take offense to it! Third brother still insists on Yao'er's matter." ?”
The middle-aged man in Confucian clothes did not answer, but Kong Li's voice continued: "When you calculated Yao'er's fortune, you said that the strange scene when she was born was not a disaster. It was the arrival of a broken army. On her birthday, All of them are the main killers. If they are used on the battlefield, they will definitely impress the king and achieve great achievements. Since you said this, I will agree. Therefore, His Majesty promoted her to the governor of a town. Without a word to stop her, But what is the final result? You and I have already seen it—"
Hearing this, the face of the middle-aged man in Confucian uniform was slightly cold, but he didn't say a word to stop him? Your Majesty is determined to do so. Can you and the Kong family stop it at that time
"By the way! I remember, third brother, you once said that Yao'er is indeed destined to die young. There is evil in his destiny, which may implicate the clan members. But if he is appreciated by a wise king, he will surely soar into the sky, and even make me Kong. The family benefits—"
As Kong Li spoke, there was a brilliant light in his eyes, staring at the middle-aged man like a knife: "I want to ask the third brother, Your Majesty, is he not a wise king? But now Kong Yao has fallen into the hands of others. Deep in the palace, I became a concubine of a barbarian king. The disaster of my Kong family is already in front of me, I wonder if my third brother has anything else to say?"
When the words fell, several people in the study also looked towards the door with a bit of ridicule.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar only felt that his heart was filled with coldness, and the coldness was astonishing. He glanced around, then laughed slightly at himself.
In the eyes of these people, there is only complaint, and they already regard him as an enemy, without any affection at all. What's the point of staying here by yourself
Too lazy to argue with his eldest brother, he rolled his sleeves and turned to leave: "I will leave tomorrow morning to go to Qiantian Mountain. Don't worry, Yao'er and I will make an oath. Whatever you do will be our fault. No one will leak even a single word!"
After this person left, silence returned to the small study room again.
Several people in the room looked relieved. Knowing that this person always speaks his mind like a mountain, now that he has said these words, he can feel at ease.
After a while, someone spoke up again: "Actually, the third brother's arithmetic skills should be the best in my Kong family. Whatever he says, everything is accurate, and he may not even be the master of the country, Zhongxuan Zhenren." Under it. If you cultivate enough, you might be able to reopen the spiritual power of my ancestor of the Kong family. But I don’t know why I am so stubborn about Kong Yao’s affairs. Don’t you understand the principle that doctors do not heal themselves, and others do not care for themselves? "
"Exactly! This is a big taboo for us magicians. It was precisely because of his comments that we spared Kong Yao's life. But what happens now? None of them have come true!"
Kong Li said a faint 'hmm' but said nothing more. His face looked gloomy and uncertain against the flickering candlelight.
After the middle-aged man in Confucian uniform walked out of the study, he was also silent. With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sky with a dazed expression, looking at the stars in the sky.
Could it be that I really made a mistake
Yao'er, Yao'er, what should you do in the future? Could it be that he was really trapped in the palace from now on, waiting for the day of his untimely death
How are you doing in Tianshan now? What kind of person is that demon king? How does he treat you
To the east is Yunlu, a barbarian country
That man was able to unify Donglin in a few years. It is said that he was a wise king with great talents and broad plans.
But this person's reputation in the imperial capital is not very good!
It is said that he had ignored political affairs for three to five years, was fond of extravagance, and was often extremely ridiculous in his actions.
Many great scholars said that this man was a deviant and not a wise king.
The governance of Shenyou is even more unimaginable, it is a way to transform foreign barbarians. The policy of valuing business is even more destructive to the world.
To the east is Yunlu, a hero of the time who made Yizhuzi famous. This person may have some military skills and amazing military power, but he is nothing more than a figure like King Chi and King Xiang.
You may be invincible for a while and dominate one side, but you will never be proud of it forever.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the middle-aged man in Confucian uniform were filled with an irresistible coolness.
Then he laughed at himself again, saying that this was all hearsay. We still have to go to Qiantian Mountain and have a look to find out.
If it were the Demon King, he was as foolish and absurd as the rumors said. Then Kong Rui, even if he risks his life, will snatch Kong Yao out of that devil's cave!
※※※※
Under the bloody sky, hundreds of thousands of people wearing heavy armor were fighting hard in front of the broken city wall.
Zong Shou was riding on a ninth-order dragon-horned winged horse, looking in front of him with an indifferent expression.
At almost every moment, hundreds or thousands of people were killed or injured. Blood spilled and returned to dust.
However, he knew that what he saw before him was an illusion, so Zong Shou could remain calm from beginning to end.
In front of his eyes, the thirty thousand black cavalry were like an unparalleled sword, slashing towards them.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops on the side of the 'King of Han' were also trying their best to stop him.
Like a wave, they are constantly being smashed and crossed by this iron cavalry! But the previous wave was shattered under this sword, and another wave has already formed.
If you look carefully, those defeated armies actually retreated in an extremely orderly manner after their formations collapsed. It often only takes half a moment to regroup.
It seems that the formation is deep and tight, but it often breaks up with a single blow. Every time, he can do it just right, avoiding the real sharp point of this iron cavalry, avoiding the reality and making a fuss.
After every collapse, a small piece of flesh can always be torn off from this invincible cavalry. There are always one or two military formations nearby that can respond to the retreating troops.
In recent days of fierce fighting, the 470,000 elite Han soldiers here have suffered 40,000 casualties. But the original thirty thousand invincible cavalry were reduced to twenty-six thousand. A whole four thousand cavalry were defeated here!
By now it was dark, the horse was tired, and the man was exhausted.
The outcome of this battle was almost decided, and it ended in a draw.
In this illusion, Zong Shou has gone through six reincarnations, and the endings have been almost the same since the beginning.
He failed to swamp this family's cavalry with this 470,000-strong army. This Chu Overlord failed to kill him in front of the battle array as he wished!
"His Royal Highness's military skills, Zhang Liang is truly ashamed of himself!"
Zhang Liang's voice next to him rang out again, with some respect: "King Xiang is a famous general throughout the ages, and his cavalry is also unparalleled in the world. It's amazing that you can compete with him in recent days without losing! It's just me. I heard that among the wise kings in the world, there are very few who have been in battle and risked their own lives. Only those who can recognize and employ people are the true way to be a king—"
Zong Shou glanced at this man in surprise, thinking, isn't this a spiritual illusion? How could Zhang Liang say such a thing? This situation was really not an ordinary weird one.
Then he secretly smiled bitterly. At this time, Zongyuan and Yin Yang were not around him, and it was impossible for Ren Tianxing and Kong Yao to enter his mind. Otherwise, he could let go and let them do whatever he wanted.
But in this situation, if I don't go into battle naked and take command personally, am I really going to entrust my life to these idiots? In the hands of the soldiers of the King of Han who were born from the thought of King Xiang Chu
Are you kidding me
I am too lazy to pay attention to this person, just because I am afraid that this eternal counselor will be regarded as an NPC in the game.
Seeing that the black cavalry collapsed again. Zong Shou was about to continue giving orders, but the next moment, the sky suddenly turned dark again.
